And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
"You looked better in the dark"
To be somewhere in the dark with you
Oooh you were beautiful to me
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did
And you, would always raise your hand
(Oh ooo)
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
I was the only one who offered
But somehow you never got your turn
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
They all want to ask you for a date
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
The dirty looks
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
The teacher would ask the questions
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
'Cause I saw then what they see now
They don't know how, they don't know how
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
Oh yes I did
Took all the stares and laughter
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
Aha, you used to be so lonely
Aha, you used to be so lonely
To carry your books
Aha, you used to be so lonely
